The Princess Knife

Sorry I hurt so much
its all for you.
Ive got a little bone inside me
that breaks everytime...
I need to be sheltered like you
in love
in love
Im just not that girl
Im standing here reading aloud
with a little too much panic
and a little too less glow.
Im never gonna be her
but she shakes up the cage im in.
But she wont take me home
shes only here to cleanse my wounds.
Sorry that the bitter taste fills me in, like a balloon.
You have got to slowly come at me, cause you know Im feral still.
And after all this time
and after all this time.
in love
in love
I dont like you in his arms
all broken-wings and shooting sadness.
But I wont have you any other way.
Im just looking on and peeking in
and I listen for my newest pseudonym.
I need to be sheltered like you
in love
in love
I need to be sheltered
in love
I need to be
in love
I need love.
